Summary

Willard (Frances E.) Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 281 students in Rosemead, California, operating within the Garvey Elementary district, which is generally well-regarded.

The school is dedicated to serving its community, showing particular strength in supporting students from low-income families and those learning English. However, its academic results are mixed: while English Language Arts scores are solid, math performance is below the district average, and science scores are a significant area for improvement. Furthermore, the school has a higher rate of chronic student absences than many of its peers, which can impact learning. It's interesting to note that Duff Language Magnet Academy, another school in the same district with a very similar student population located less than a mile away, achieves much stronger results across all subjects and has a remarkably low absenteeism rate.

Willard's per-student spending is actually higher than several nearby higher-performing schools, including Mildred B. Janson Elementary in the Rosemead Elementary district. This comparison suggests that factors like instructional approach, school culture, or specific program effectiveness play a major role in student outcomes. For parents, Willard demonstrates a strong commitment to its students but has clear opportunities to grow, particularly in science education and improving daily attendance.
